THE BULLETIN • WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2021 A13 No. 3 GOP leader in House backs Trump impeachment BY ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Repub- lican opposition to impeach- ing President Donald Trump began crumbling at the party’s upper echelons on Tuesday as the No. 3 House GOP leader said she would vote to impeach Trump. “There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his of- fice and his oath to the Con- stitution,” Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said in a statement that, while not unexpected, shook Congress as lawmak- ers prepared for a Wednesday House vote. With Democrats commanding that chamber, a vote impeaching Trump for an unprecedented second time seemed certain. More ominously for a presi- dent clinging to his final week in office, The New York Times reported that influential Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCo- nnell thinks Trump committed an impeachable offense and is glad Democrats are moving against him. Citing unidentified peo- ple familiar with the influ- ential Kentucky Republican’s thinking, the Times reported McConnell believes moving against Trump will help the GOP forge a future indepen- dent of the divisive, chaotic president. Reps. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., an Air Force veteran, and John Katko, R-N.Y., a for- mer federal prosecutor, be- came the first rank-and-file GOP lawmakers to say they would vote to impeach Trump. Later joining the GOP faction was Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich. The House will vote on an impeachment article charging Trump with incitement of in- surrection over his goading of a pro-Trump crowd that poured past police lines into the Capitol last Wednesday, disrupting lawmakers’ cere- monial counting of the elec- toral votes that sealed Trump’s defeat, leaving five dead and widespread damage. Trump may not have helped himself Tuesday. In his first public appearance since the attack on the Capitol, he took no responsibility for his role in egging on his supporters and added falsely, “People thought that what I said was totally ap- propriate.” Abortion pill now requires in-person pickup BY MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press The Supreme Court ordered Tuesday that women must visit a doctor’s office, hospital or clinic in person to obtain an abortion pill during the COVID-19 pandemic, though similar rules for other drugs have been suspended during the public health emergency. Eight days before President Donald Trump leaves office, the justices granted a Trump administration appeal to be able to enforce a longstanding rule on getting the abortion pill, mifepristone. The pill need not be taken in the presence of medical professionals. The court split 6-3, with the liberal justices in dissent. The new administration could put the in-person requirement on hold after Joe Biden takes of- fice on Jan. 20. A federal judge had sus- pended the rule since July be- cause of the coronavirus, in response to a lawsuit from the American College of Obstetri- cians and Gynecologists and other groups. U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang affirmed the suspen- sion of the rule in Decem- ber, saying public health risks for patients had increased as COVID-19 cases soared. The Food and Drug Admin- istration approved mifepris- tone to be used in combination with a second drug, misopros- tol, to end an early pregnancy or manage a miscarriage. The administration has sus- pended similar in-person visits for other drugs, including opi- oids in some cases, but refused to relax the rules for getting the abortion pill. Waivers Continued from A1 The goal would be to pre- vent one large project from receiving the majority of waivers, and instead encour- age a variety of smaller afford- able projects from different developers, Healy said. Incentivizing smaller proj- ects also helps integrate more affordable housing through- out Bend, rather than en- couraging development of affordable or low income housing all in one area of town, said board member Ariel Mendez. Mendez said it was import- ant to him to incentivize de- velopment that does not seg- regate the community by race and class, and that his goal is not to prevent any affordable housing units to be built, but to provide incentives for “the best result.” “This is not just about building homes,” Mendez said at the Jan. 5 meeting. “This is also about building commu- nities.” The board also passed a proposal from Mendez that allows some affordable hous- ing units to not be subject to the district’s 75-unit cap. In a market rate multifamily hous- ing project, up to five afford- able housing units could be added with no fee charged. “I’m just trying to find a way to incentivize the kind of development that might be the most conducive for mixed income (development),” Men- dez said during the meeting. The cap is seen by many on the board as a way to help promote affordable housing without letting the quality of service in parks decrease dra- matically. Even so, the 150 fee waivers will result in the C LASSIFIEDS “You can have wonderful parks. If more and more people don’t have places to live, then we’re not going to be a community where people have health and well-being.” — Jason Kropf, member of the Bend Park & Recreation board district not receiving roughly $875,000 to $1.2 million in system development charges, Healy said. But board member Jason Kropf, a Democrat elected last year to represent Oregon’s 54th House District, opposed having a cap on affordable housing waivers, despite eventually voting to approve the resolution in the end. Kropf argued the lack of af- fordable housing in Bend is “a paramount issue,” and that the park district has a responsibil- ity to help address it — espe- cially if the district is serious about its priority to support the health and well-being of the community. “You can have wonderful parks,” Kropf said on Jan. 5. “If more and more people don’t have places to live, then we’re not going to be a com- munity where people have health and well-being.” In response to financial concerns, Kropf said an es- timate for construction of Alpenglow Park coming in roughly $1 million under the anticipated estimate for the project gives the district “room to contribute to large … community issues.” Kropf also warned that the 150-unit cap will not be enough to meet the needs of the community. Updated es- timates from the city suggest there could be between 380 and 400 units of affordable units in the pipeline in the near future, he said. “I want us to be fully pre- pared that we aren’t meeting the full need of this commu- nity and be prepared to work with the city before the end of 2022,” he said. The idea of adding more waivers also has community support. Since November, the district has received 81 letters of support for more fee waiv- ers compared with 28 letters that were against the idea, according to Sheila Reed, an executive assistant with the district. Bend Mayor Sally Russell said Tuesday she had not had a chance yet to review the fi- nal resolution, given that the district’s legal team is still fi- nalizing the details, but in general applauded the park board with moving forward. “I’m so happy that the parks board invested time and energy to really understand the gravity of the situation,” Russell said. When asked whether it was still a goal to convince the dis- trict to lift a cap entirely, she said that was a conversation for the new council to have. Both Russell and the park board expressed intentions to have more conversations about long term solutions re- garding affordable housing and SDCs. e e Reporter: 541-633-2160, bvisser@bendbulletin.com The Bulletin General Merchandise 200 204 Want to Buy or Rent Wanted $ Cash paid for vintage, fake, & fine jew- elry.
